Teen Hollywood interviewed Amber Heard about the film, Fighter's Sweetheart. The following is an excerpt from it:
"TeenHollywood: There is some pretty awesome martial arts fight action in this film. Were you a bit disappointed that you didn't get to kick any butt or learn any fight moves?
Amber: To be honest, after working with all these boys for months on end in Orlando, Florida, yeah, you really wanted to take some aggression out and kicking butt was a very polite way of putting it.
TeenHollywood: Yeah, true. We hear that when you came in and tried out for the part in Never Back Down, they changed their idea of how the character should be played. What did you think of your character?
Amber: I play Baja Miller in the movie and it's a very important role because she serves as a mirror to society; to all those young girls that either you knew or you were. I believe that it's really important to address that. Art should and does imitate life. If we do it in a truthful manner, you'll walk away with a message. I read a fairly normal high school girl character and [I brought] my own life history into it as an actor. I came into this role and changed it quite a bit and made it very truthful. We are that girl or we knew that girl. So many young girls were taught at such a young age how to make things easier on yourself and it generally comes down to 'shut up and smile'. It's detrimental. That's why so many women go to college and find their husband at college and that's the end of that."
"Heard got her big break in the 2004 film, Friday Night Lights, and her performance helped her win the honor to play a younger version of Charlize Theron in North Country, the critically-acclaimed drama about the first successful major sexual harassment case in US history. In 2006, Heard appeared in another major film, this time the controversial crime drama Alpha Dog, starring Bruce Willis and Emile Hirsch. " - IGN IGN Babe of the Day: Amber Heard
